TL;DR: The wavelength dependence of the extinction of Type Ia SN 2014J in the nearby galaxy M82 has been measured using UV to near-IR photometry obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, the Nordic Optical Telescope, and the Mount Abu Infrared Telescope as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present observations of SCP 06F6, an unusual optical transient discovered during the Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey, which brightened over a period of ~100 days, reached a peak magnitude of ~21.0 in both i_775 and z_850, and then declined over a similar timescale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Broad H$\alpha$ Emission Lines in the Late-time Spectra of a Hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernova
Lin Yan,Robert M. Quimby,Eran O. Ofek,Avishay Gal-Yam,P. A. Mazzali,D. A. Perley,P. M. Vreeswijk,Giorgos Leloudas,A. De Cia,Frank J. Masci,S. B. Cenko,Y. Cao,S. R. Kulkarni,Peter Nugent,U. D. Rebbapragada,Przemysław Woźniak,O. Yaron +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors detected a broad H$\alpha$ emission with luminosity of 2.3x$10^{44}$erg/s, which has never been detected before among other H-poor superluminous supernova events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observational Predictions for Sub-Chandrasekhar Mass Explosions: Further Evidence for Multiple Progenitor Systems for Type Ia Supernovae
TL;DR: Polin et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a numerical parameter survey of sub-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf (WD) explosions and identified a subclass of observed supernovae that are consistent with these models.
